Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a selfie with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung and Samsung Electronics CEO Lee Jae-yong during the president’s state luncheon on Monday.
A clip of the three influencers taking a group selfie is now going viral. The video, which captures a candid moment between them, was brought into focus because of the phone used to take the photo: the Galaxy Z Flip7, a flagship model from Samsung said to have been produced at a manufacturing facility in Noida.
According to a report by news agency ANI, Samsung Chairman Lee’s selfie with Modi and the Korean President was a symbol of both foldable technology and the company’s economic integration with India.
The selfie was taken at the India-Korea Business Leaders Dialogue at Hyderabad House.
